One of Hitler's orders was specifically to blow the Eiffel tower so it'll collapse onto the Seine river, making it more defendable...

But I really don't know what would have happened to Eisenhower or the Allies... maybe a severe decrease on popularity... Things really not significant.

But I think it is completely out of question to state the damage which could have been made on Mankind's patrimony and universal culture! One of the most —if not the— beautiful cities in the world, along with her historical buildings, streets, museums, works of art, technology... being reduced to ashes! [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]

Thank God for Von Choltitz disobedience!
